    Quote from LIhikers: “Anybody know a good way to cut pages out of the book? I need the section from Georgia to West Viginia, which is the front half of the book.

    Quote from LIhikers: “Even though my leg isn't fully healed yet I can't help but think about our plan to hike the southern half of the A.T. in 2024.

It's a fabric with a ceramic outer layer.

In the morning while sitting on the throne in the hut's privy (no joke), a squirrel runs by, obviously terrified, and dives into a hole at the bottom of a tree about 15 feet in front of me. I start looking up the tree to see if the squirrel comes out another hole when I saw this magnificent barred owl.If he had not moved his head I probably wouldn't have seen him, he blended in that well. And he never flew. We stared at each…

    The wife and I rode the mules to PR and back. The saddles were old and hard and the wranglers made the mules trot the whole way between breaks. They do not ride as well as a horse. While I enjoyed it, I swore I'd eat a mule before I rode another.appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…b79aff5b7cbc860915babd835
